ForeScout CounterACT®

ForeScout CounterACT® is a physical or virtual security solution that dynamically identifies and evaluates physical and virtual network infrastructure, devices and applications the instant they connect to your network.

CounterACT agentless technology discovers, classifies and assesses devices. CounterACT interrogates the network infrastructure to discover devices as they connect to the network. Our customers have reported seeing up to 60% more devices on their network than previously known. After discovering a device, CounterACT uses a combination of passive and active methods to classify the device according to its type and ownership. Based on its classification, CounterACT then assesses the device security posture and allows organizations to set policies that establish the specific behavior the device is allowed to have while connected to a network.
